Looking at it in retrospect, I, personally, couldn't possibly blame any Brit from feeling hope that Pearl Harbor would lead to active US engagement in warfare that might somehow take some of the pressure off themselves

As I recall, Winston Churchill wrote that he went to bed on Dec 7th "to sleep the sleep of the blessed and the saved" (from memory).

By Carl's logic, that means that Winston Churchill would have been perfectly happy to see the United States destroyed, so long as it helped Britain. By the logic of reasonable people, it means something rather different.
